VALTER H. WESTON, OF VINTHROP, MASSACHUSETTS.

NURSERY-CHAIR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 637,911, dated November 2S, 1899- Application led July l2, 1899.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, WALTER H. WESTON, a citizen ofthe United States, residing in `Win throp, in the county of Suffolk andState of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Nursery-Chairs, of which the following is a specification.

This invention or improvement relates to nursery-chairs adapted to contain and sustain in a raised position a chamber-vessel, and it relates particularly to the device for it can be easily slipped into and withdrawn from the sustaining contrivance horizontally, so that the vessel may be applied to the chair and removed therefrom through an opening in the back of the chair. I

The nature of the invention is fully described below, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a central vertical section taken through a nursery-chair embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the under side with the vessel removed from the chair.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A represents the back; B, the arms C, the seat; D, the front wall, and D' side walls, which extend down from the seat to the floor and hide the chamber-vessel E. The rear wall is either omitted or provided with an opening D", through which the vessel may be inserted or withdrawn. The seat is provided with a cushion and guard F F', substantially like that described in Letters Patent No. 612,076, granted October ll, 1898, to Grace M. G. Veston.

H represents a screw or similar contrivance driven from the under side into the seat near the front edge thereof.

H' H' are staples or screw-eyes driven into the under side of the seat in substantially the positions shown in Fig. 2, the eyesbeing play of the ends of the sustainingaspring. This spring consists of a central portion K, which is coiled around and thereby secured to the screw H, the spreading jaws K', formed Serial No. 7231627. (No model.)

on opposite curves and adapted to embrace and press normally against the opposite sides of the vessel underneath its iiange E', the fiar ing wings K", bent outward from the portions K', and the ends K'", bent forward at substantially right angles with the wings K". The wings K" extend through the eyes H', and the ends I prevent the spring from slipping out of said eyes.

To remove the vessel, draw it horizontally rearward through the opening D", springing apart the jaws K'. To apply it to the chair, pass it horizontallythrough the spring therein and between the jaws of the opening.` The screw K and eyes K' prevent the spring from dropping, and the eyes also prevent the jaws from spreading or contracting too much.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a nursery-chair, the seat; the spring comprising the oppositely-curved jaws K' and the outwardly-extending wings K"; a sustaining-pivot H secured to the under side of the seat and supporting the inner ends of the jaws; and eyes H' secured to the under side of the seat and supporting the wings K", said wings playing horizontally in the eyes, and said jaws being adapted to spring normally against the opposite sides of the chamber vessel, substantially as described.

2. In a nursery-chair, the seat; the spring comprising the oppositely-curved jaws K',`

the outwardly-extending wings K" and the bent portions or catches K"'; the sustaining pivot H to which said spring is centrally secured, and the eyes H' within which the parts K" of the spring play, said pivot and eyes supporting the spring in ahorizontal position, and said eyes limiting its horizontal movement, and said jaws being adapted to spring normally inward against the opposite sides of a chamber vessel, substantially as set forth.

WALTER H. WESTON.
